Private Giza Tour Pyramids, Sphinx, Grand Museum, Bazaar & Camel

That sounds like an amazing tour! Starting with a pickup from your requested location—whether it’s your hotel or an alternate spot if it’s out of range—your journey kicks off across Cairo toward the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza. You’ll get to explore the Pyramid of King Cheops (Khufu), the largest of the three, along with the pyramids of Chephren (Khafre) and Mykerinos (Menkaure), each a testament to ancient engineering and royal ambition.

After your up-close exploration, heading to a panoramic viewpoint of all six pyramids with the city of Giza sprawling in the background sounds like a perfect next stop. Spending 30 minutes there gives you plenty of time to snap some stunning photos and soak in the breathtaking vista—those ancient wonders framed against the modern skyline. And if you’re up for it, this spot’s apparently prime for a camel ride, which could add a fun, classic touch to the experience, swaying across the desert with that incredible view all around.

What do you think—would you hop on a camel for the ride, or are you more about capturing the perfect shot from solid ground? Either way, it’s a moment to savor. Anything else you’re curious about for this leg of the journey?

It’s great that the same entry ticket to the pyramids area also covers your close-up encounter with the Great Sphinx! With its lion’s body and King Khafre’s head, this iconic guardian of the Giza Plateau is a must-see, and you’ll have all the time you need to capture it from every angle. Having a guide who’s also an expert photographer is a fantastic bonus—they’ll help you get those perfect shots, whether it’s a classic pose or something more creative. Once you’ve soaked in the Sphinx and filled your camera roll, it’s time to head back to your hotel, wrapping up an epic day in Cairo.

Sounds like a dream itinerary! Are you most excited about the photo ops with the Sphinx, or is there another highlight from the day you’re still buzzing about? Let me know what’s on your mind!

The Grand Egyptian Museum sounds incredible! With highlights like the world’s only Hanging Obelisk, the stunning Grand Hall, and the Grand Staircase Gallery showcasing over 60 remarkable artefacts, it’s a treasure trove for anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt. The Main Galleries, with their twelve exhibition halls, offer a deep dive into Egypt’s rich history—from prehistoric times to the Roman era—exploring the lives, spirituality, and burial practices of the Egyptian people. Whether you wander through at your own pace or opt for the 90-minute guided tour, it promises an unforgettable journey through millennia of extraordinary civilization.

Have you visited the museum before, or are you thinking about planning a trip? I’d love to hear more about what draws you to ancient Egypt—whether it’s the artefacts, the history, or something else entirely!
